I don't care about you or whatever the Bleep you identify as. That's your own problem. According to Ijeoma Oluo, she's Etche, not Igbo. Stop crying.

Useless Yorubanza ape, if you know say na your ashawo mama born you well, post the screenshot of her denying she's Igbo na? why's that so hard for you? come to Etche and tell them they are not Igbos, prove your conviction by coming down to confirm.. and if you make it back to your slum in Ibadan without some indelible marks on your body, then truly you serve a living God grin grin grin
Lol, Osu boy is pained! But whatever, Ijeoma Oluo is Etche, not Igbo. Go challenge her on Twitter (@IjeomaOluo) if your erosion-ravaged, landlocked, padlocked, mudland hellhole of Ngwa cannibals ass doesn't like that very fact! E pain am!

Lmao, Osu boy heartbroken that his peole have been rejected again like Sunday Oliseh. I've posted whatever I needed to post about the beautifully Etche (not Igbo) woman Ijeoma Oluo. She says she's Etche not Igbo. What I posted was clear enough, but then, you're a monumental dunderhead, lol. Cry more, Osu.
And to think that Awolowo wasted his free education for nothing, only to be rewarded with a region of airheads and generationally talented idiots. I'm sure this Oponu doesn't even know the are Igbo subgroups within the Igbo nation grin. Common source to prove Ijeoma denied she's Igbo you can't post, why are Yorubanzas this incorrigibly stupid?

Our Arewa Brethren of the Ferrari will not be amused to hear this comment, because they know money from Niger Delta crude oil diversion means reading and writing is not a requirement to get rich, provided one is from the right NORTHERN Nigerian tribe.

Toh, Megida Dan-Ferrari, how far now ?

Why una woman no dey sabi read and write book like dis Igbo woman dem ? Na because of dat awoof Niger Delta oil money ? Na laziness to go school, abi na mumu dey worry dem ?

The afonja ape has been reposting the same nonsense, and can't even do himself the simple honor of backing up his "facts" with a simple source. This is the level of ignominy the once prestigious Yorubanza race has been reduced to, fighting with Igbos over who or not is Igbo grin grin grin
The guy is confuse.

Etche (Echie) is one of the Igbo Sub groups in Rivers State, Nigeria. They are found in the Rivers, Abia and Imo. Etche people are Igbo speaking clan in South South region and they are popularly known as (Ndi Echie) which means Etche people. They still maintain their Igbo cultures and heritage.
According to Ijeoma Oluo herself, she's Etche, not Igbo. You don't like it? Then go take it up with her on Twitter @IjeomaOluo. I'm sure you'll be able to convince her that she's Igbo.

See ya miserable life! Your mates are working towards accomplishing greater feats in life and you're here chasing shadows against a tribe that surpasses your entire generations.

Don't worry, continue trolling Igbos online until your parents will sell off their inherited landed property to a young Igbo business man and relocate to their farm house in the outskirts of Ogun state, Agbara,Then reality will dawn on you. OPONU..
Hahahahahahaha!!! Osu boy is pained and heartbroken, lol. Ijeoma Oluo says she's Etche, not Igbo. Lmao! Cry more!

Stop showing me some bogus Wikipedia, lol. The same Wikipedia says Ikwerre people are Igbo, but we know Ikwerre people say they're not. Ijeoma Oluo herself says she's not Igbo. She says she's Etche, not Igbo, lol. You don't like the fact that you've been rejected again? Go take it up with her on Twitter and force your "Igboness" on her.

Too much ritual killings and brown roof oxides have diminished the collective IQs of the Yorubanza race to ground zero. I'm sure your parents swapped your destiny with the some river goddess when your wretch of a mother was desperate for the fruit of the womb grin. Your destiny and cognitive resonance have been replaced with a permanent mark of stupidity.

Of course you can't prove Ijeoma Oluo denied been Igbo, I asked for a simple direct link to such outlandish claim, and like the typical shifty slimy afonja piece of worm that you are, you contrived to outdo yourself once again. So it's pointless engaging a lunatic any further, my case has been vindicated here.

If I were you better confront your shekpe selling mother to reveal the identity of your father. You can never tell, he may be one of those customers that troop into your mothers kiosk everyday to douse their sorrows with a shot of Ogogoro while discussing when govt will share palliatives.

Nigerian American Writer Becomes New York Number 1 Bestseller

I was scrolling through Instagram today when I saw this post, a list of New York Bestseller, most of which where about racism... I took a closer look at the picture and found out that the number 1 new York best seller for Paperback nonfiction book this week was "SO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT RACE" by a Nigerian-American.

Her name is Ijeoma Oluo I had to goto NY times website to confirm, here you go see for yourself : https://www.nytimes.com/books/best-sellers/

Her biography
Ijeoma Oluo is a Seattle-based writer, speaker, and Internet Yeller. She’s the author of the New York Times Best-Seller So You Want to Talk about Race, published in January by Seal Press. Named one of the The Root’s 100 Most Influential African Americans in 2017, one of the Most Influential People in Seattle by Seattle Magazine, one of the 50 Most Influential Women in Seattle by Seattle Met, and winner of the of the 2018 Feminist Humanist Award by the American Humanist Society, Oluo’s work focuses primarily on issues of race and identity, feminism, social and mental health, social justice, the arts, and personal essay. Her writing has been featured in The Washington Post, NBC News, Elle Magazine, TIME, The Stranger, and the Guardian, among other outlets.

I have not seen any muslim woman from the north who is a popular writer

Note: Zainab Alkali was a Christian lady. She was Elizabeth Alkali from southern Borno, Borno State. A member of ECWA church but later converted to Islam.

If you know any northern woman who is a Muslim from birth and is a writer, let me know so that I can do research on her


Read up on Hafsat Abdulwaheed and Amina Mama. They're actually a lot of them. Just a little research and you would've found them but obviously you just want to be mentioned.

I won't do that for you, Osu cannibal. I've posted what I wanted to post. Ijeoma Oluo is a mixed race Etche woman. Again, you don't like it? Then go take it up with her on Twitter. You know how to use Twitter? Then type @IjeomaOluo Etche into the search space. That's all I can do for you, Osu outcaste, lol.
